Tom Parry reflects on Steve Bull and Wolves in the 90s (QK Reloaded)

In an effort to become podcasting's version of UK Gold, we're spinning it back and replaying the glory days of QK, every Tuesday and Thursday. This is: QK Reloaded. We'll be playing through our original episodes in release order. And this is... Comedian and friend of the show Tom Parry chatting Wolves and Bully. This episode was first broadcast on 9th October 2017. ---- Our guest this week is one third of our favourite comedy sketch troupe ‘Pappys’; it’s upper-body nudity enthusiast and massive Wolves fan, Tom Parry. The 90s were a period of medium resurgence for Wolves after a desperate period in the late 80s which saw them drop into the fourth tier of English football for the only time in their history. Spearheading that charge for Wolves was Tom Parry’s hero; Mr Steve Bull. We find out about Steve’s remarkable inclusion in the England squad for the 1990 World Cup, his inexplicable local newspaper column, and which deep-fried foodstuff Steve was seen carrying in inordinate amounts.
